They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

it is mordantly amusing that the MAGA cult's recent marching orders are "support the manufacture of tiny European cars" and "force the NFL to rename what it is that they're doing at the behest of FIFA's John Baby"

The period known as Redemption is little known to most Americans — I’d argue intentionally — but it’s the period after the fall of Reconstruction where Black people are stripped of their rights, democracy falls in the South and the system of racial apartheid is entrenched.

Time for my hobby horse again: it’s so weird and fucked up that the man exercising the powers of the American presidency has absolutely no knowledge of or attachment to American culture at any level.
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

For anyone who believes the private sector can replace public investment in science: no, it's never going to come close.
It will never be cheaper to not have cures for diseases or to be beholden to someone for them. Health is a public service.

I’m scrolling through the timeline with sound off and it’s clear based on body language the CEO of Palantir is a guy you’d avoid at a party because he’s high as shit.
i kind of hate how much these guys can’t be bothered to dress themselves well or even visibly take care of themselves
The CEO of Palantir.

A huge part of how erratic and disjointed they all are is that they’re all constantly rotating through a nonstop list of untested, unverified drugs and supplements of dubious origin and unknown effect. It boggles my mind that this isn’t mentioned in every single story about them.

I'll be honest: I do not care if these artists ever get paid. You perform at the Trumpified Kennedy Center, you should expect to get the full Trump treatment (which often means that you're getting screwed over).

The reason A Wrinkle in Time is such a big theme this season is the ending of that book is Meg Murray freeing her little brother from the grasp of IT (a disembodied evil superintelligence that runs a hive mind) by stubbornly refusing to give in and focusing on her love for Charles Wallace.
